Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (not all of it, just the important stuff): 

  • End-to-End Project Management: Lead the execution of research projects, from proposal writing to reporting and presentation.
  • Data Analysis: Analyze quantitative data to generate actionable insights and strategic recommendations.
  • Client Relationship Management: Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, serving as a trusted advisor on research methodologies.

  • Proven experience in market research with expertise in quantitative methods.
  • Excellent analytical skills with a knack for translating data into actionable insights.
  • Strong client management abilities and a talent for building lasting professional relationships.
  • A passion for storytelling through data and a curious mindset regarding market trends.
  • Interest in influencing the future of market research.

It would be great if you had these to, but we’ll support you if you don’t: 

  • Experience in the Financial Services sector (desirable but not essential).
  • Familiarity with cross-departmental collaboration (project management, analytics, scripting, etc.).
  • Proficient in questionnaire scripting software and SPSS.
